Hi,
I was trying to install uldaq 1.2.0 on my MacBook Pro with M1 apple silicon. After I installed libusb 1.0.24 with: brew install libusb, I tried ./configure and it showed below error, saying Library libusb-1.0 was not found on this system. Same version of uldaq was installed on another intel based MacBook Pro without any problem.

Hello,
unfortunately, uldaq is not currently compatible with MacBook Pro with M1 apple silicon.
At this time, I do not have a timeframe for when it will be.

Sorry for the inconvenience.
